Guantana and the Geneva Conventions
Gonzales takes issue with justices' detainees ruling <ref name=ChicagoTribune060714> [http: Gonzales takes issue with justices' detainees ruling], ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'', [[July 14]] [[2006]]</ref>
  • SCOTUS ruled that the Geneva Conventions apply even if only one party is a signatory.
  • SCOTUS ruled that the Bush administration's interpretation that the phrase in article 3 that the article applied to "conflicts not of an international nature" meant that it did not apply to "the Global War on Terror", because it was "international" was incorrect. They ruled this phrase meant wars between nations.
